Like a scene from The DaVinci Code, Android fans have been desperately trying to cobble together hints and clues regarding Google’s KitKat launch. A large number of Google apps all receiving updates seems like it could be a serious development, but it turns out this is likely to be a dead end.

Following the big announcements from the Google+ team about changes to the platform and enhancements to their apps was the notion that SMS for Hangouts would be updated a couple of days from now, while the rest of the updates would start rolling out either before Wednesday or on Wednesday. This got a couple of people thinking, and after a little bit of research it looks like many of Google’s apps are awaiting updates on the Google Play store, most of which should be rolling out today.

This list includes major apps like Google Play services, Gmail, Drive, and Chrome, as well as lesser used apps like Fiber, Blogger, and Goggles. It’s far from every Google app in the Play Store, but it’s almost every major app made by Google.

While the contents of the updates themselves may be indicative of preparation for Android 4.4, the launch date for the updates themselves is not. In fact, one engineer on the Android team explained on Reddit that Wednesdays are set aside as the weekly launch window for Google apps. It’s not a rule that updates for Google apps have to be launched on Wednesdays, but if there’s not an emergency that’s the normal day that these things happen.

Like most updates, Google will launch updates in stages and making it so every user has the app within a couple of days. It doesn’t mean that Google is announcing Android 4.4 today, but it does seem likely that we’re not too far off from some kind of official announcement that would include the Nexus 5 and Nexus 10 devices to act as flagships for the next version of Android. Keep clicking refresh, everyone. We’ll get there eventually.
